Over millions of years, microbes that have colonized and coevolved with humans have gradually come to help regulate nutrition and metabolism processes and train both innate and adaptive immune responses. Among commensal microorganisms that colonize healthy individuals, pathobionts -including Helicobacter species- are those that can potentially induce chronic inflammatory responses in genetically susceptible hosts or in the presence of certain…

The Gut Microbiota for Health (GMFH) digital community was more active in 2017 than in any previous year—with over 50,000 scientists, healthcare professionals, and members of the public now taking part in the online conversation about gut microbiota! The website had over 950,000 visits this year, and was selected once again as one of Healthline's best gut health blogs. Among…

Recent research has started focusing on the role of the oral microbiota in host health and exacerbation of some systemic diseases. Although increased levels of certain oral-derived microbes have been found in the gut microbiota of patients with inflammatory bowel disease, human immunodeficiency virus infection, liver cirrhosis, and colon cancer, little is known regarding whether oral pathobionts -resident bacteria that…

Research in the gut microbiome field has usually only focused on resident bacteria and the related bacterial-host interactions. However, emerging scientific evidence suggests that studying the human fungal community (called mycobiome) could help us better understand the role of the microbiome in health and disease, specifically in inflammatory gastrointestinal diseases. A recent review article, led by Dr. Christopher L. Hager…

Previous research has shown antibiotics may increase the risk of immune-related diseases including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) by disturbing the composition and functions of the gut microbiota. Although the use of antibiotics during the peripartum period (including both the preterm and post-natal periods) has been suggested as a risk factor for IBD development later in life, little is known about…

Changes in the gut microbiota are involved in both homeostatic and inflammatory immune responses. T regulatory (Treg) immune cells tolerate diverse bacterial communities, whereas inflammatory conditions activate T effector (Teff) immune cells to react against the body’s own commensal microbiota. However, little is known regarding the role of commensal bacteria in inducing Teff cells during inflammation. A new study, led…

Public awareness about the importance of the gut microbiota is growing, but many nutrition professionals struggle to know how to incorporate findings from gut microbiota science into their practice. In a rapidly-progressing field, what should clinicians know about how gut microbes and diet interact to produce different health outcomes?
